Located in the bustling Seo-cho district of Seoul, the aptly named Seoul Seocho Studio was meticulously transformed by designer Pil Jung from Korean architectural firm Mies & Louis. The biggest change being the addition of a single custom built floor-to-ceiling storage piece that stretches from one end of the studio to the other and containing all the studio’s storage including laundry facilities, a styler, an entertainment unit as well as an office. Two sliding doors, one made from vibration finish stainless steel and one from slatted walnut inspired by the traditional Korean Gan-Sal doors, cover the entertainment unit and can be moved along the length of the storage unit. The Gan-sal door theme continues into the bedroom where a slatted walnut partition divides the bedroom from the living area whilst still allowing light and air to flow through. Through careful design Jung has created a unique inner city sanctuary for his client.

I love this
Brilliant design. Well thought out. Balancing clean, sleek lines while maintaining inviting warmth and coziness.
as a 32 year old man I learnt what a styler is today 🤯
You did a great job ! SO inviting and efficient.
For a poquito 😢soltero
Very nice! Great work of the designer. But why do not hide ugly washing machines with some doors?
Kitchen but no table to eat at? or did I miss it? lol
I’ve been thinking to make my South African apartment I bought 6 months ago the same design as a Korean apartment,like the one in this video…I love South Korean design 👍🏻👍🏻
Really nice
Such a cosy living space very nicely designed <3
Sad when one realizes that an apartment so clean, simple and functional is likely EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. So beaitifil – especially the sliding doors and gold/blue accents. Thoughtful. I could move in tomorrow…with a couch lol.
I really like this… Have you studied WHY American culture has so much "stuff"? I like modern futuristic design… Being in the heart of Seoul, I would think that it would be cheaper to eat ‘out’?? Less waste, no leftovers… Making salads, vegetables, broiled fish or chicken would be easy to make at home… What would you suggest for Americans to simplify their lives? What mistakes do most Americans make teaching their children to minimize their lifestyle? I love the sliding screens! They are like "pocket doors"! Thank you…
I like this apartment best because it represents most modern building layouts that we have in big cities right now. I know too many friends who live in this exact kind of home. Long rooms with only one window. This design made use of all the space while making it look homey and not cramped. However, we really need to force real estate conglomerates to stop making these type of homes as it’s really not ideal for anyone.
Finally an apartment where people actually seem to cook and not eat out or have delivery every single day. Such a boring life.
Final point is very pertinent — we must make ggod use of what already exists. Thank you for showing this efficient apartment.
Exciting your interior designs! I also work in furniture in Vietnam, my hometown. Hope your designs will be popular this year. Give you 1 sub😃
세상에 완벽해요
10/10
Well done.
This is brilliant and the design saves a lot of space. This explains the bigger is not always the better.
I would LOVE 45 sq meters!!
I love my small space. I honestly am not even sure I Want to move into my Mom’s three bedroom plus den apartment with giant wrap around deck when she passes. 😂 Except the gardening space would be nice.
I’ll probably end up renting out the extra bedrooms!
This architect’s work is really good
I love the panels, the slats and the spacious cupboards
Seoul "Small" City Sanctuary Apartment "45sqm".
People with under 30sqm apartment: …..
The amount of storage this place has is fantastic. That’s the biggest issue with studios when it comes to liveability, it can get really messy if you don’t have enough storage.
한국에도 좋은 건축가랑 디자이너 많아요. 더 많이 다뤄주세요. 🙂
와 여기서 한국 집은 처음 보는데 심지어 우리동네 서초동 ??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 시작부터 깜놀해서 초집중하며 봤어요
집구조는 전형적인 오피스텔인데 한국사람들이 환장하는 수납+lighting을 챙기면서 동시에 never too small 에서만 볼법한 인테리어 디자인이 미쳤습니다.. 슬라이딩 도어를 제거해서 마치 스튜디오 처럼 변형한건 신의 한수 인것 같아요 그리고 한 쪽 벽면을 전부 수납장으로 만든 센스도 대단함 ㅠㅠ 자칫하면 좁아질 수 있었을텐데 베드룸을 오픈하니 오히려 집이 더 넓어보이네요 여태 본 한국 작은 집 인테리어 중 가장 aesthetic과 functional한 디자인이라 인상깊었습니다 !!
This is beautiful. I would love a place to sit and eat like at the island
Part of our startup each day is to sit up in bed with a favourite coffee, and watch a video from our Youtube "Architecture" folder. When the video ends, we move it to either "Architecture – Yes", or "Architecture – No".
The "Architecture – No" folder contains hundreds of videos… the "Architecture – Yes" folder contains only a handful, and it now includes this delightful production. That is a wonderfully empathetic design, thank you for sharing it with us.
Stunning
Where is the dining area?
Love

A dream. What a stunning and beautifully thought out interior space. 👌 primo
Just seen this now but so impressed with the design.
❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
It is big enough for two people
Beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰 For a foreigner what can they expect far as real estate costs are concerned. Mary
Funcional y cálido , gracias a las plantas y los " detalles " en madera .
Love this! Definitely functional and calming! Very cozy, clean, warm and easy to maintain!
Love this! South Korean apartments always had harsh overhead lighting and the use of ambient lighting was perfect. I hope this trend catches on there.
I like this
This is simple yet incredibly chic. It’s obviously well thought out and designed by a professional, but it’s not over designed. I love those sliding wooden doors. The only thing missing for me would be a comfy couch which I would use a lot even when living alone.
This is one of very few design concepts that I could relate to – usually the aesthetics don’t translate adequately to function. This designer presented seamless, low maintenance functional access to all amenities. The only addition I personally prefer is a balcony for access to outdoor space.
Very clever design. I love the storage ideas!,,
I love the design. I couldn’t live in the city but this would be very nice for a visit. Thank you for the consideration of storage. An entire wall of nothing but closet, appliances and more storage is phenomenal! I really liked the wood dividers. That is very stately and elegant yet not over bearing. And my gosh her plants are very happy. Thank you for the beautiful showing.
A lot of storage is great.
3:06 i want to see somebody sit in that blue chair. it looks like it would be uncomfortable but not at the same time.
That’s so elegant like 5 star hotel. It has big enough closet and the long island kitchen bench and the food storage. Laundry as well. The big window gives the brightness.
I really like the design. Very practical with all the clean lines. The sliding doors are a plus.
